Giving the Hatton fight a miss....

[Deserter]

Gents, so I'm genuinely interested to see if I'm in a minority of one of this, but all week I've been going back and forth with regards whether to pay for the Hatton fight or not, and I've finally come to the conclusion I'm not going to bother. I just can't get excited by this match-up and there's nothing on the undercard lighting my fire...
Is it just me?

Im not paying for it I will listen to the radio ( if I can be bothered)

[m1kee50]

I'm half interested to know how younger Hatton will get on with Tackie, and I'd like to see what older Hatton has left against a really live dog, which Lazcano sadly wasn't. Not interested enough to pay for it though.

Watch it on the stream

Hatton's at or near the end of the road and there really isn't a better fight for him at 140 (with the possible exception of Bradley). The fight should be very competitive, but its PPV-worthiness is another matter. I'm buying it, as I'm one of the mugs who always does!

[Poncey]

I think it's a good value PPV. I'm gonna get it.

[the patriot]

Im giving it a miss, normally i get all the PPVs but this one dont float my boat.

I'll listen on the radio whilst driving drunk rugby fans home

[Deserter]

This and Khan vs Prescott are the only two I've ever taken a pass on, but I just think the main event is going to be a really ugly spectacle and I don't give a monkey's about Matthew Hatton to be honest. Couple that with Prizefighter already appearing to have run out of steam a bit and it's a perfect storm scenario for me.. at least I won't resemble a zombie in work on Monday for once

Anyone know the exact time that Hatton and Malignaggi will be entering the ring?

I'm guessing around 3:30am UK time?

If Hatton is poor against Malignaggi then I think Bradley is too big a risk. Just think if Hatton was beaten by Bradley, Bradley would be able to say he beat all Britain had to offer at the weight.

I think the US card is good. I think, given the coach change etc, I think its a 55-45 fight (Hatton's favour)... Hatton could look awesome, he could look ordinary - but I for one is interested in seeing how he looks.

Hatton vs Tackie is a good fight, and its nice to see James Kirkland in action.

I think the Prizefighter thing is a bit horrible mind, I aint a fan of it, and I think this one looks poor.

[Poncey]

Still annoyed we didn't get Angulo v McEwan though, stu. And no explanation why it was called off.

[Abbo]

Surely the way to go is with the 'net streams and make a fuss that that is exactly what you did as it's a piss-take liberty.

[Poncey]

I find the streams like watching through vaseline-smeared cling film.

Its not often I feel compelled to have a tug at this time of a Saturday evening but...

From what have seen in reports, Angulo priced himself out of the fight.

McEwan has been sparring Khan and Karmazin

I never thought this of you!!!

This could be Hatton's best victory - or there again it could be Hatton's last fight.

Onoe of those 2 is happening!!!

It does look like it'll be an ugly one. Both like to clinch, don't they.

I'm giving it a miss also. There is a bit of value with some decent faces on the main undercard, and Martin Murray could make the Prize Fighter interesting. There's certainly a lot of fights tonight. There are fights out there that I can lose sleep over, but Hatton-Malignaggi isn't one of them.

Not sure I even want Hatton to win, if he's calling out smaller men like Pac and Marquez.

[mark thompson]

how can any real boxing fan give this a miss ????

[Autobarn]

Lack of money? Not wanting extortionate cable bill to be any bigger? Combined with lack of interest in the star attractions?

If the Juanma Lopez WBO super bantam title defence was going to be on this card, rather than the DLH-Pac, I may have just decided to splash out. Or if the McEwan-Angulo didn't get scrapped I might have a different attitude.

[Khaosai-Galaxy]

Well i'll be buying it anyway, i think the fight has a good story (Hatton leaving his comfort zone, hooking up with Mayweather and taking on a very tricky customer in Macarinelleaggiooggiee)

Very interested to see Mathew vs Tackie too, seems like a hundred years ago that Tackie came to the MEN to put Ricky in his place

[housesecond]

I'll watch the repeat tomorrow and watch prizefighter live. Beats sitting up all night and watching all the crap in between.

[rhino222]

well, im giving it a miss, having to work from 8-5 tomorrow kind of made the decision for me. the prizefighter could be interesting. i wonder if the peterborough lad renda could do some damage.

[dbf]

I'll be giving it a miss but only because at present I only have Setanta through Free Veiw. I am interested to see Adrian Gonzalez, Lee Beard's son, as I understand he was the reason the whole partnership between Floyd Snr - Beard - Beard - Hatton - Hatton - Mayweather came about.

Apparently he has a lot of talent and I see he is on the undercard.

Good luck to Ricky but superfight this is not.

When I checked the schedule the other day McEwan is now fighting on another bill.......
